Wager of Battle: A Tale of Saxon Slavery in Sherwood Forest is a historical novel written by Henry W. Herbert and first published in 1855. The story is set in the 12th century in England, during the reign of King Henry II, and is centered around the legendary figure of Robin Hood. The novel follows the adventures of a young Saxon nobleman named Wilfred of Ivanhoe, who is captured by the Normans and sold into slavery in Sherwood Forest. There, he meets Robin Hood and his band of outlaws, who are fighting against the oppression of the Normans and the corruption of the Church. Wilfred becomes embroiled in their struggle and eventually leads them in a battle against their enemies. Along the way, he falls in love with a beautiful Saxon maiden named Rowena and must navigate the complex politics of the time to save her and his people. The novel is a thrilling adventure story that explores themes of justice, freedom, and love, and is a classic example of 19th-century historical fiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
